News linked to both this project and an event.
three U.S. Dogecoin ETFs have collectively attracted just over $12 million in inflows over the past 10 months, compared to XRP funds which pulled in $12.29 million in a single day on September 9. Since their debut in November 2025, XRP funds have accumulated $1.7 billion in net inflows, while Solana funds have drawn $1.36 billion since launching in October 2025—both more than 100 times the total for Dogecoin funds.Previously, Bitwise announced it would shut down its Dogecoin ETF BWOW, which held only $687,713 in assets as of September 9, with trading expected to cease on October 14. Data shows that across 199 trading days, the three Dogecoin funds recorded net inflows on only 28 days, with zero net flows on 166 days. MyDoge founder Jordan Jefferson believes that accessibility has never been the biggest bottleneck for Dogecoin; whether institutional demand can be unlocked depends on whether investors can find underwriting value beyond price appreciation.

Trader Bonk Guy (Unipcs) posted that he has long considered USELESS to be this cycle's equivalent to DOGE, SHIB, or PEPE, yet many continue to disregard it. He noted that South Korea's two major centralized exchanges, Upbit and Bithumb, listed USELESS just hours apart today, granting it a major new distribution channel from one of the world's key crypto markets. Bonk Guy further emphasized that attention should remain on whether USELESS will be listed on Hyperliquid, Robinhood, or Binance Spot next. He argued that instead of debating whether USELESS will emerge as this cycle's flagship memecoin, focus should shift to how high its price can potentially reach, as the underlying pattern is becoming increasingly clear. He also noted that investors can either accumulate USELESS now or wait until its market cap reaches several billion dollars, perceiving that stage as "safer".
Renowned trader Bonk Guy stated that he has been tracking and trading Meme coins for three consecutive cycles, and has previously publicly predicted the market trends of multiple Meme coins with multi-billion dollar market caps. He believes USELESS could become an opportunity similar to DOGE or PEPE in this market cycle.
Odaily News Trader Bonkguy (unipcs) stated on the X platform that his publicly recorded Meme coin trades from the previous cycle include: BONK growing from $16,000 to over $20 million, WIF growing from $6,000 to over $1 million, FARTCOIN growing from approximately $300,000 to over $8 million, PNUT and POPCAT each growing from low six-figure USD amounts to over $1 million, and MAGA, DOGEGOV, and Roaring Kitty-themed tokens collectively growing from low five-figure and six-figure USD amounts to over $5-10 million.Unipcs stated that despite constant ridicule and claims that he would fail, his judgment has been repeatedly validated. Additionally, Unipcs said he believes USELESS will become the leading Meme coin this cycle, becoming the next DOGE or SHIB with a market cap in the tens of billions, and stated that his conviction in USELESS is stronger than in any previous trade. This is his most representative Meme coin trade of the cycle and the one he is most willing to stake his reputation on.
Japanese publicly listed company Remixpoint announced that it sold all of its holdings of ETH, SOL, XRP, and DOGE on September 1, totaling 878.8 million yen and realizing a gain of 117.8 million yen.

Crypto analyst Ali posted on the X platform that Dogecoin (DOGE) is currently experiencing its most severe Bollinger Bands contraction since September 2023. Ali noted that DOGE's price trading range has narrowed significantly, and extreme Bollinger Band compression typically signals that market volatility is building up, which could lead to a significant price breakout in the near future.Bollinger Band contraction is generally viewed as a signal of a low-volatility phase, and historically, similar extreme compressions have often been accompanied by a directional trend selection. However, the analyst cautioned that volatility expansion does not necessarily mean prices will rise, as the ultimate direction still depends on market capital inflows, trading volume, and the overall crypto market environment.
According to CoinDesk, Bitcoin's 30-day implied volatility has fallen to the 36% long-term support bottom, with prices trading in a narrow range below $65,000. Adam Haeems, Head of Asset Management at Tesseract Group, warned that in a low-volatility environment, declining trading costs actually attract traders to establish large-scale directional bets and hedge positions. Once the market breaks through key levels, market makers' passive hedging will accelerate price volatility, leading to a mean-reverting rebound in volatility. Regarding market sentiment, Paul Howard, Senior Director at Wincent, pointed out that current demand for put options has significantly weakened, but call option buying is also absent—Glassnode describes this as "no one is paying for upside, and no one is paying for downside," believing this is typically a signal that the market is approaching a cycle bottom. The divergence in price trends between DOGE and BTC also confirms the continued absence of speculative sentiment. Howard stated that the next significant catalyst could be institutional ETF fund inflows driven by positive regulatory developments such as the Clarity Act, while a breakdown in Strait of Hormuz negotiations and inflation shocks constitute major downside risks.
Meanwhile, Dogecoin (DOGE) rose only about 6% during the same period, while other dog-themed tokens increased by around 10%, indicating that capital was primarily concentrated into SHIB. In the derivatives market, during this rally, positions of about 2,300 traders in SHIB and 1000SHIB were liquidated, with a total liquidation value of about $6 million, of which short positions accounted for about $5 million, but analysis suggests that short covering was more a result of the price increase rather than the main driving factor of this market movement.
on July 16, Bitcoin ETFs registered a net inflow of $79.15 million, marking the third consecutive trading day of positive inflows. Among them, Blackrock IBIT saw a net inflow of $33.44 million, Fidelity FBTC recorded a net inflow of $30.73 million, and Bitwise BITB posted a net inflow of $14.98 million. Ethereum ETFs recorded a net outflow of $28.04 million on the same day. Grayscale Ether Mini Trust saw a net outflow of $14.28 million, Fidelity FETH recorded a net outflow of $11.20 million, and Grayscale ETHE reported a net outflow of $4.84 million; meanwhile, Bitwise ETHW posted a net inflow of $2.28 million. XRP ETFs recorded a net inflow of $6.78 million on that day, while Solana ETFs saw a net inflow of $1.66 million. T. Rowe Price's TKNZ began trading with approximately $15 million in initial assets, with a portfolio including Bitcoin, Ethereum, BNB, Solana, XRP, HYPE, XLM, and Dogecoin.
the U.S. SEC stated on Tuesday that it is publicly seeking comments on the regulatory approach for "novel ETFs," evaluating whether existing fund registration and listing processes need adjustments. This review comes amid the rapid expansion of crypto ETFs and an increase in applications for prediction market-related ETFs.SEC Chairman Paul Atkins said the regulator wants to hear market opinions to ensure that the U.S. ETF market can effectively serve investors while continuing to grow and innovate. Since Atkins took over as SEC Chairman in April 2025, the SEC has approved multiple crypto ETFs beyond Bitcoin and Ethereum, including products tracking assets like SOL and DOGE.Currently, market attention is shifting towards prediction market ETFs linked to political and economic outcomes. The SEC has not yet approved such funds for listing and trading and has delayed several related applications. Atkins previously stated that the SEC will evaluate these products in a "transparent and prudent" manner.In this request for comment, the SEC is asking whether a standardized listing framework should be established for ETFs meeting specific criteria and whether certain novel ETFs need to register as investment companies. TD Cowen analysts believe that this request for comment could potentially lead to rule changes as early as 2027, allowing the SEC to permit a wider range of ETF types, including products based on event contracts, crypto assets, and single-stock strategies.

Ansem posted on X, stating that his past judgments regarding celebrity participation in crypto projects were overly idealistic. He had assumed they would not "rug" millions of supporters, but this assumption has been proven wrong by reality, and he stated he will not make the same judgment error in the future.However, Ansem emphasized that he is not a celebrity himself and has no intention of exiting a project improperly. He believes that Meme and narrative-based tokens may still play a "net positive" role in the crypto market, including attracting new users into the industry, providing speculative liquidity for the market, and reactivating market sentiment during bear market bottoms.Using Dogecoin and Bonk as examples, he stated that such assets have brought large-scale user adoption and wealth effects in different cycles. Dogecoin's market cap once reached $11 billion, while Bonk helped revive sentiment within the Solana ecosystem during the低迷 period following the FTX collapse.Ansem also mentioned that he entered the crypto industry in 2017, quit his job as a software engineer in 2021, and is currently co-founding the trading application BullpenFi while hosting the podcast project MarketBubble. He noted that he has participated in discussions on multiple Meme coins in the past, but often encountered anonymous accounts using liquidity structures to front-run and then "dump" on the opposite side, making him a tool for attention. He emphasized that his current project is the first time he is participating with "control over the majority of the token supply" and stated that he will attempt to find a balance between market attention and industry building.

According to DL News, CoinMarketCap data shows that the meme coin sector rose nearly 20% over the past month, with its total market capitalization climbing to $34 billion—still down approximately 75% from its peak of nearly $140 billion in December 2024. Analysts say this rally is primarily driven by improved risk appetite, heightened on-chain speculation, and sharp gains among a few top-tier tokens—factors that may not fully reflect the sector’s overall health. Dogecoin remains the highest-market-cap and highest-trading-volume meme coin, yet it is down 87% from its 2021 all-time high. Additionally, the SEC and CFTC recently proposed a five-category token classification framework that classifies meme coins as collectibles; Canary Capital has also filed an application with the SEC for a Pepe ETF.
